Questions related to: Kitesurf
How many kitesurfing classes do you have to take to learn?
There is no specific answer to this question, since it will depend on your previous experience and your speed or ability to learn.
The normal thing is that after about 10 hours you will be able to start sailing without the supervision of a friend who practices, or a monitor.
The normal thing is to divide those hours into 3 or 4 days. From there, the user usually already has the necessary initial knowledge. Although it is true, the instructor must corroborate it and make sure that you can go sailing alone.
Can children learn kitesurfing?
Yes, a child can learn to kitesurf, with proper precautions and supervision.
The new adaptations of kitesurfing equipment make it possible for even the little ones to have equipment adapted to their needs.
It is essential that the child has a good understanding of the aquatic environment and a minimum of physical capacity. Additionally, lessons are conducted with a qualified instructor who adapts teaching to the child’s age and abilities.
Safety is paramount, and all precautionary measures must be followed, including wearing appropriate protective equipment and practicing under controlled conditions.
Is the gear important when taking the courses?
How long does it take to learn Kitesurf?
The average duration to understand and master the handling of the kite until you can sail in both directions safely (waterstart) ranges between 9 and 15 hours.
This period is subject to your skill and the favorable weather conditions for kiting. It is not directly linked to the person’s physical condition, but rather to coordination and mental disposition.
